Back to bed (Webware)

Guide sleep-walking Bob across rooftops and back into bed. Play as subBob, a subconscious alter-ego of Bob that takes a form of a blue dream dog with a human face. Avoid traps, pitfalls, and nightmarish creatures to guide Bob back into bed. Walk on walls, make blockades, and do whatever it takes to survive.

A crazy little game from a Danish developer, Back to Bed takes you into what seems like a nightmarish world straight out of the mind of Salvador Dali, while being narrated by a man with a creepy eastern European accent speaking through a synthesizer. With out-of-this-world graphics and eerie audio, it is one of the reasons we love independent games; this stuff just cannot be found in the next Call of Duty.

Bientôt l'été (Webware)

From our understanding of the demo, Bientôt l'été features a multi-player option. However, after waiting for a bit, we opted to play with the simu... [Read more]

"What are you doing here, Gale? I'm trying to impress Katniss with my bow skills!"

Can't get enough Katniss Everdeen? The next movie, "Catching Fire," won't hit theaters until November, but you don't have to wait until then to return to Panem.

The Hunger Games Adventures takes you there, after a fashion, challenging you to explore, battle, and, well, make money. It's kind of a quest-oriented FarmVille, and in fact the game originated on Facebook.

If that's not your thing, or you prefer more action, check out Hunger Games: Girl on Fire. It's an endless runner that's all about running, jumping, and shooting.

Here, you need to really want to experience the world of Panem -- and have lots of patience. After creating your character (with your choice of face, hair, clothes, etc.), you learn the ropes alongside Katniss by doing things like setting traps, trading meat, buying bread, and so on. This teaches you the game's resource system, which consists of money, credits, energy, and experience points.

Sound familiar? The game reminds me a lot of resource-oriented sims like ... [Read more]

Just days after its release, one of the most high-profile iOS jailbreaks turns out to be the fastest to be adopted too.

Evasi0n, which gives iPhone, iPod, and iPad owners deeper access to the software on their devices than Apple allows, has been downloaded and used by nearly 7 million people since its release on Monday, Forbes reports.

To put that figure in perspective, Apple last month said that it had sold more than 500 million iOS devices cumulatively, and that 300 million of those were running iOS 6 -- its latest major release.

The 7 million tally comes from the maker of Cydia, the app that quickly became the unofficial official third-party software repository for jailbroken devices. Like Apple's own App Store, the app (which is typically installed in the process of jailbreaking) lets people search and discover new software and other system tweaks that can be installed on top of Apple's own software. However unlike Apple's system, Cydia does not need to adhere to a strict set of guidelines for what can be offered. [Read more]
